Highly Suspect Reviews: Twin Peaks: The Return – Eps 7-8

This week is full of surprises. Not just the episodes of Twin Peaks themselves (although…JEBUS CRISTOS) but on our review show itself. Subbing out for our regular contributor Ian this week is beloved Oneofus regular Johnny Neill, who is as deeply passionate about this show as the rest of us. To add to that, we’ve got a special interview at the end of the episode with actor Christian Calloway who played one of the woodsmen in episode 8 who has some fascinating insights into the episode and working with Lynch.

**The ending song this week is by Betty X and is called Watcher on the Threshold. You can buy it and the rest of the album Bad Jujuright here.

Born in the wilds of northern Virginia, in 1992 Chris managed to put all of his survival skills to use and barely escaped with his life to Austin Texas, where ever since he’s dabbled in everything from plumber’s assistant to sandwich maker, from band to bar management. An opportunity to see theatrical release films for free, by becoming a critic on a local public access show called “The Reel Deal”, turned into a full time job when Chris and his friends decided to take it to the internet. They built the site Spill.com, adding multiple podcasts and animated features, to no small amount of success. During this time, a fortuitous friendship sprung up between Chris and young Brian Salisbury, who was also a local film critic, and they merged their forces of will, and their laundry list of ideas for shows, to eventually build this paradise you see before you.
